How to open the locked trunk of the Jaguar XJ

Model: Jaguar Xj MK 4, XJ 40 - Years 1986-1994
Part: Door lock

When the trunk of the Jaguar XJ is blocked due to a malfunction of the lock or because you have forgotten the keys inside the car, you can access the trunk in emergency mode. To open the trunk of the car, we must unscrew the screws of the license plate to remove it with a screwdriver. Once the license plate is removed, we can insert a long enough screwdriver into the central hole behind the license plate to move the lock and thus open the trunk. Once we have retrieved what was inside, we close and reassemble the license plate.
